These are the old kennels of the York and Ainsty Hunt. In 1907 Sir Edward Lycett Green (Master 1886-1909) divided up the country which had been secured by the Hunt from Bramham Moor and other, old-established, neighbours. The land was considered to be awkward as a whole. Between 1907 and 1909 all the doghounds were kept in the Ainsty country and the bitches were kennelled in the north by the new joint-Master. In 1909 all the hounds were once more brought together at the Ainsty. In 1929 the country was divided permanently as the Masters found it hard to meet regularly in the whole country
